The Art and Technology Studies (ATS) program is a creative arts department specializing in technological mediums for artistic expression. Originating from the Kinetics program founded by Steve Waldeck in 1969 and the Generative Systems initiative launched by Sonia Sheridan in 1970, the department blends these pioneering approaches to foster its innovative spirit. While many fields apply technology to support conventional art forms, ATS practitioners treat technology as their primary artistic material. Projects emerging from ATS frequently incorporate temporal elements, interactivity, immersive environments, multi-sensory experiences, or combinations of vintage and advanced technologies.
